Low-FODMAP Crispy Baked Hot Buffalo Chicken Wings: Gluten-free

Yes.  It’s true.  You can have buffalo wings on the low-FODMAP diet.  Host a fantastic football party with low-FODMAP Hot Buffalo Wings and low-FODMAP Ranch Dip, alongside low-FODMAP Loaded Barbecue Chicken French Fries and low-FODMAP Nachos.  Your guests will never want to leave!

These low-FODMAP wings are baked, not fried, but are still so crispy and delicious.  The trick is using the cornstarch to help with the baking.  But, beware, while these wings are low-FODMAP they are also very spicy!  So if spicy foods trigger your IBS you may wish to go easy with the low-FODMAP Buffalo Wing sauce.
